Santorum: Sex with 12 year-old boys OK

Not exactly, of course. But in trying to get himself out the hole he's in after stating that Massachusetts' liberal nature was responsible for priests' sexual abuse. Never mind that Cardinal Law moved to Boston from my home state of Missouri and one of the convicted priests was from North Carolina. Obviously, that argument doesn't really hold up. So Santorum tried to put it another way-- the priests were involved in consensual sex with adults. Adults of, you know, 11 or twelve years old. The man is absolutely insane.

"In this case, what we're talking about, basically, is priests who were having sexual relations with post-pubescent men. We're not talking about priests with 3-year-olds, or 5-year-olds. We're talking about a basic homosexual relationship. Which, again, according to the world view sense is a perfectly fine relationship as long as it's consensual between people. If you view the world that way, and you say that's fine, you would assume that you would see more of it."

So there you have it. Does anyone on the right really think that the Catholic Church is a bastion of liberalism? Or that Santorum makes a good point when it comes to man-on-boy sexual assault? Can anyone out there even comprehend this nonsense?
